Juma-9: Mission 7 - Take It Back

When you appear in this area, you'll need to make your way right through a hangar. Before you do, though, head toward the very back left wall. You will notice an artifact resting on top of a stack of crates there. To reach it, you need to jump left against the nearby wall, then wall jump out toward the right so that you pass over the artifact icon.

Once you grab that, you can worry about heading toward the right. Though there are a lot of enemies attacking in that direction, specific strategies shouldn't really be necessary by this stage in the game. You won't be encountering anything new. Just rush the weaker enemies and carve a path through them with your lightsaber, jack any more powerful enemies and use them to wreak havoc on other adversaries and keep working slowly to your right.

Before you head to the right, climb the crates along the back wall for an artifact.

Two beacons means two mini-game opportunities.

As you advance, enemies will occasionally arrive on elevators. They don't really complicate matters much. Just keep battling and grabbing energy orbs as you advance. When you reach the far right wall, there's a closed bay door. More enemies will descend along the wall, these of the crab droid variety. They are especially fun to jack because their weapons are powerful and will allow you to easily eliminate any stragglers in the area. Once the last of the enemies have been defeated, the bay door along the room's right side will open. Don't pass through it just yet, though, as you should see two mini-game beacons that will have appeared.

The one on the left side of the door provides you with 45 seconds on the timer. You are to use that time to destroy as many droids as possible. These are mostly the larger droid units that crawl down from the wall or skitter along the floor dropping bombs. You can jack them if you like, but a better strategy is to simply run around hacking everyone with your lightsaber. A Platinum ranking is easy to obtain.

The mini-game on the right side of the door also provides you with 45 seconds and a swarm of enemies. This time, however, you earn points only for those droids that you defeat by jacking a different droid. There are several types of enemy in this area, but most of them move too slowly to be of use. Jack one of the walking mechs that arrives from the screen's lower left side. Aboard these, you can run around firing rapid bursts of laser fire that should make quick work of any droids that arrive on the scene. Again, a Platinum ranking is easily obtained.

Blast away enemies and crates, and be sure to check the recess for an artifact.

These shafts require you to make treacherous jumps.

With those two mini-games completed, pass through the bay door to the next portion of the hangar. Here, you will find yourself in a room stacked with a wall of crates. Some of the spinning enemies will warp into view to give you a difficult time. Tend to them as you please, but make sure that you destroy the stack of crates. You can remove the crates to reveal a recess behind them, and there's an artifact resting in that recess.

Pass through the the next room and you're in another large hangar. Here, make your way toward the right as you battle your way through another gauntlet of enemy droids. There's nothing remarkable to see along the way, really, though you should make sure to hop along the jets positioned against the back wall to collect some easy energy orbs. When you reach the far right side of the hangar, you can climb your way up along its side byf following the energy-strewn footholds. Leap to the top and you'll prompt another change in camera perspective and appear in a new corridor.

Here, you must hop along ledges leading toward the right. When you come to the vertical shaft at what is otherwise a dead end, jump to the wall on the right and slide down, then jump toward the left before reaching the gap. Slide down that wall a short distance, then jump back through the opening to the right. Now you'll come to another shaft above. Wall jump your way up that and then head to the right. Now you need to slide down another wall to the first of two vaulting poles. Once you arrive on the first pole, jump to the right to land on the second, then jump forward again to the wall and now quickly wall jump your way up the shaft to safety up at the top.

Jack the flying, spinning guys and send them flying to wreak havoc.

Walking mechs are as useful as ever during the stage's third mini-game.

You'll reach a new shaft now with energy at its center. Jump out toward the center and you'll drop to a circular platform below. Here, you'll be surrounded by a new wave of droids. These include some of the guys with purple lightsabers that spin them in circles to provide shields. Make sure that you take those guys out quickly by leaping to their backs and then dealing crushing blows. You don't want them hanging around any longer than absolutely necessary.

Since the area is full of enemies, you should also be watching for some of the spinning droid enemies that like to hover in the air and whir about like helicopter blades. If you manage to jack these, you can release their spinning forms to cause severe damage to any other droids they hit, including the dangerous fellows with the purple lightsabers. As you fight, more droids will continue to pour into the area. Just deal with them as they come and when the last of them have been obliterated, a new ledge will rise on the opposite side of a translucent bridge.

Before you cross the bridge to that platform, check closer at hand. A new mini-game beacon should have appeared. Press the button indicated on-screen and you'll have a set period of time with which to destroy swarms of droids however you like. For the first wave, just hack them apart and knock them off the ledges with Force blasts. You need to get through that first batch quickly. Once the second group arrives, the easiest way to take everyone out is to jack one of the walking mechs and use its shots to cut down the other droids. Just keep doing that for the remainder of your allotted time and you should have no trouble earning a Platinum ranking.

Then when the mini-game concludes, cross over the translucent bridge you saw and step onto the new platform. Mission complete!
